Introducing “Who Are You?”, a self-discovery workshop exclusively for teens.

How do you show up in the world? How do you want to show up in the world?

So much of our anxiety comes from not being sure why we’re here. What is the purpose of our lives, and what should we do when we grow up? But it actually comes down to a very simple concept – you’re here to do what you’re good at, with what you care about.

Sometimes it’s hard to know or believe in what we’re good at. Sometimes we haven’t developed or found our talents and we take our beliefs for granted. I am hosting the “Who Are You?” workshop to give teens the opportunity to unlock, celebrate and build their bridge to happiness and meaning.
